Not a plug-in hybrid ;) Winterization WITHOUT the factory block heater, which is criminal. Canada gets it, but AK and the rest of the US can suck it, says Toyota. Other than that this truck is the best choice in its segment by far.
Nearly complete full body Pure PPF and same brand of window tint. Color change from white to Satin Champagne, which I thought would be a little bit lighter, but looks like the tone of Bronze Oxide. The top (roof) is Frozen Black. We are digging it so much!
I’ll go back Tuesday for black tailgate letters and headlight smoke PPF. Then in 3 weeks they’ll have me come back again to redo bits that typically need to be fixed.
Yesterday I cleaned the windows, used glass polish, then applied ceramic glass coating to the exterior side of all glass. Cleaned and lightly coated the wiper blades. We have 5+ inches of rain forecast in the greater LA/OC/SD area of California starting tomorrow afternoon through Christmas or longer. This will be a real test of the prep and coating. Did the Subaru glass too and replaced wipers.
Today I can attest after three days of intense storms, the glass coating is performing wonderfully on the Tacoma and Subaru.
I used BeadLock Glass ceramic coating from Shine Supply. They ship as well as sell on Amazon. They’re a local small business, which I’ve bought at their brick n mortar store for years.
Prep work is key so using their glass polish beforehand worked well. No machine polishing, just used microfiber.
Truck is back from having its tailgate letters installed after Pure PPF full body wrap.
When the PPFer removed/reinstalled my tonneau cover, they didn’t get it on right so it leaked during the first rain a few days ago. What we figured out when originally installing is that having me sit on the upper bed rails while wifey tightened the clamps on the truck rails in the bed got the seal in just right. We were planning to remove the cover soon anyway to install the rest of the Charvonia bougey tie downs so no harm done.
The shop owner has a Raptor and chose the same Satin Champagne PPF for his truck. We took pics alongside each other. Fun!
